Record the route of the water
Tell the contractor when the leak appears, the rooms affected, and whether previous repairs exist. Ask the assessor to map relevant roof-deck, framing, insulation, and ceiling findings. Mark what could not be reached rather than treating an unseen area as dry.
Clarify each contractor’s scope
- Who diagnoses and repairs the roof entry point?
- Who evaluates wet insulation and other affected materials?
- Who confirms the interior is ready for insulation and ceiling replacement?
Keep roof and interior records connected
Use the same location labels in the roof report, moisture record, and interior estimate. Retain evidence of the roof repair and the material decisions below it. If the leak returns, those linked records help the team investigate the unresolved path.
